new year, new blog

We use the word rustica a lot around here - it's our affectionate term for our low budget life and generally the aesthetic we prefer. If it gets done in a hurry and is a bit slap dash it's simply 'rustica', with its own innate charm.

We have been in Adelaide with family for Christmas. It was a real holiday, beach visits, sunburn suntans, daily ice cream, reading books, drinking champagne, eating out. Heavenly to have B & B with us for so much precious time.

Now I am home, slowly preparing for another year of Uni; hoping there are songs down here somewhere ready to come out and be written and sung.

Welcome...

I am a mother/step mother, musician and wife of an elegantly crusty apiarist and wanna-be currach builder. We are hopeful urban farmers trying to do some useful things with our produce, and some worthwhile things with our skills and time like; helping people make music and build gardens; preserving olives; tending chickens; rescuing bees; harvesting honey; knitting socks; baking sour dough bread; and trying to raise kids with good eating habits, a voracious appetite for books, healthy curiousity and a dry sense of humour. So far so good...
